295 Solutions

Abstract

"295 Solutions" is a social initiative that tackles the idea of the way we use and dispose of coffee cups around New Zealand. The idea focuses on the development of a new coffee cup that is 100% biodegradable and cost efficient, as well as developing a recycling stream, that focuses on the disposal of coffee cups by business and public spaces throughout New Zealand.
